Elusive adulthoods : the anthropology of new maturities
Over the past decade, complaints about an inability to achieve adulthood have rung out around the world. Young people across the globe, burdened with debt and unsatisfactory job prospects, are struggling to establish households, marry, and, perhaps most significantly, \"feel\" grown up. For them, achievement of adulthood has become increasingly elusive. Elusive Adulthoods poses the question \"What is adulthood?\" and examines how the field of anthropology has come to overlook this meaningful life transition. Through diverse case studies, contributors explore a variety of means by which adulthood can be recognized, such as negotiated relationships with others and as a form of upward class mobility. Contributors also grapple with the difficulties that come from a sense of having missed full adulthood - perhaps due to rapid social change or reluctance to embrace the necessary subordination to job and family. In each case, changing political and economic factors form the background for generational experiences and understandings of what it means to reach adulthood as globalization dictates changes to traditional rites of passage. -- from back cover.

Effects of Heat-Killed ILacticaseibacillus paracasei/I MCC1849 on the Maintenance of Physical Condition in Healthy Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study
We previously reported that the intake of heat-killed Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MCC1849 suppressed the onset of cold-like symptoms in healthy young women who were susceptible to colds. This study aimed to investigate the effects of MCC1849 on subjective symptoms of physical condition in healthy adults of a wide age range. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study, 200 healthy adults were randomly divided into the MCC1849 group or placebo group. The participants received test powder with 50 billion MCC1849 cells or placebo powder without MCC1849 for 24 weeks. Subjective symptoms were assessed by diary scores. Analysis was performed on 183 participants (MCC1849 group; n = 91, placebo group; n = 92) in the per-protocol set. The number of days of stuffy nose and cold-like symptoms was significantly reduced in the MCC1849 group compared with the placebo group. In addition, the duration of stuffy nose, sore throat and cold-like symptoms was significantly lower in the MCC1849 group. No side effects were observed. Therefore, oral intake of MCC1849 suppressed subjective symptoms in healthy adults of a wide age range. These data suggest that MCC1849 may help maintain physical condition.
